Holy Cross Health announced it earned the “LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer” designation from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC). The honor was awarded as part of HRC’s 2026 Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), the industry standard benchmarking tool for LGBTQ+ inclusion and equity practices in the healthcare field, conducted every two years.

Holy Cross Health is one of only three health care organizations statewide to receive a top-tier HEI 2026 designation, and the only acute care hospital in Florida to do so — underscoring the health system’s distinct role in delivering LGBTQ+-inclusive, full-service acute care to South Florida.

“At Holy Cross Health, we are committed to providing every patient with access to safe, respectful, compassionate and dignified care,” said Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health. “We are proud, once again, to have earned the High Performer designation from HRC.”
